From Germany with Love

My friend Sabrina, from Germany, was kind enough to ship me an amazing assortment of German chips (and some delicious chocolate that I was not willing to share), and this lovely photo reminds me of how awkward I was in high school.

The sour cream Pomsticks were delicious!

Among the chips, she included Pomsticks which in the U.S. we call Potato Sticks or Potato Strings. They’re always tasty, my favorite were the Sour Cream, which of course included a hint of chive.

The brand of focus was Chipsfrisch. Consistently thin sliced chips that crumble easy. They were good to nibble on and I had no problem managing to eat every last crumb. I shared them with some of my office friends at the Zoo and everyone was in agreement that they all have that hint of BBQ flavor. The Peperoni which I assumed would be eyes watering spicy was relatively mild in comparison.

My favorite, for the name alone is the Chakalaka flavored Chipsfrisch. Again, BBQ flavored with a hint of sweet, almost mango flavoring. The shipping hadn’t been kind to this bag, so they were pretty crushed. Some look at this as a challenge or are frustrated, I look at it and think easier to just tip the bag directly to my mouth and munch away. Talk about streamlining consumption. They’re already mashed so you don’t have to worry about chewing (as much) – makes me think of a Looney Toons clip I saw where the character simply stuffs a ham in its mouth, pulls out the bone and swallows it whole.

Anywho, I enjoyed these, but the thankfully Sabrina had also included the original flavor, salty and delicious. I prefer a classic chip over all the extra flavors with French onion dip on the side…mmmm! To completely contradict that statement, my all time flavor favorite (if there has to be seasoning) is Old Dutch Salt & Vinegar kettle chips. Word of warning to those who care, do NOT eat those the day or night before an interview, it will leave your tongue feeling strange and numb and if you’re like me being tongue-tied without the added vinegar hurdle is enough.

In the end, most of the seasonings reminded me of our typical BBQ flavor. The chips were greasier (if you can imagine) and sliced a little thinner. Did I like them, you bet!
